2014 A Year in Review

Last year was quite possible my busiest year ever. Here is a quick recap of last year

January- The year started off uneventful for us. Owen got his first "bike" for Christmas and wanted to ride it everyday. So we would find new trials to explore.

February- Owen announced the arrival of his little brother scheduled to arrive in mid July.

March- We learned we are moving to Iowa for Brent to start his new job as a internal medicine resident. Owen needs a drink to help process all the new changes going on. (It is apple cider)

April- My parents come to visit and spoil Owen. I also realize I don't have any photos with the both of them and Owen.

May- Little brother made his arrival 2 months early at 4 pounds 1 ounce. He spent a month in NICU to sleep and gained 2 pounds, among other things. We named him Eamon

June- 2 days after graduating from NICU Eamon and I flew to our new home in Iowa, where he continued to sleep

July- Owen meets Eamon for the second time, and our family of 4 is finally together again. Thanks again mom for taking Owen for 6 weeks and flying him from Alaksa to Iowa

August- Brent is busy at work while Owen "helps" me with Eamon. He enjoys being a big brother and wants to hold him over and over again. We also venture out and explore Iowa City. I  also start to meet some other mamas with little one which is nice for both Owen and I.

September- Things start to slow down a little bit. We venture out of town (not to far just a 20 minute drive) and continue to explore our new city before it turns cold

October- The holiday season has officially started and our days are filled with holiday themed activities. Owen dressed as a "ribbit" and according to Owen Eamon was an X-Ray

November- Things start to get a little colder and we start looking for indoor activities to keep us entertained. We got a pass to the Children's Museum and Owen wants to go there everyday now. Brent worked Thanksgiving night but woke up early to spend sometime with the family.

December- Owen turned THREE. It is crazy how much he as grown up in just this last year. He is FULL of energy and does not want to miss a thing. His favorite toy is his trains, favorite color is green and mommy is his favorite person ever.
